Nice job. Very nice job. I spent a number of years working at a
hobby/military history shop and love it when people produce models of lesser
known hardware. I love the bomber's station especially. I was wondering,
is there any access to it besides taking off the canopy? I'm guessing no,
but I'd thought I'd ask.
Also, don't think I'd fret about the bay doors. In the opening you've
got this is a good compromise. Other thoughts I came up with took up too
much room and didn't get the door any more up the side of the feusalage.
The only other thing I can think of is the sliding roller doors that are
used for town garages, but again I think you'd be sacrificing some of the
design in order to have a solid body when the doors where closed, or have
the rail pieces sticking out the side. Creating a weird ribbed effect on
the body while the doors are closed. (also problem with this is the rib
between bays is one stud; for garage doors would have to make it two. One
rail for each door) Either way is looking at a major redesign.
I don't know, like I said. I wouldn't fret it. It looks awesome and
it's an outstanding representation of the real aircraft. I wouldn't fool
with it. I'd say you did your dad proud.

No. I did preserve the fiction that minifigs could crawl from position to position inside the plane as much as possible - there is a passageway from the bombardier's station to the central part of the fuselage, and from each of the ball (...)
